Reptile Kingdom, Exquisite Exotics - Dawn Sheppard

Another fire code violation comes to mind.
I don't think you ever had a fire extinguisher at the store.

Thinking and knowing are two diffrent things, arent they? as well what do fire codes have to do with the overal opinions mentioned here?

The only thing in the physical premis that did not ( and most likely to this day , does not meat fire code) is the fire dampers in the duct work, now that would be the landlord wouldnt it? or am i responcible for that too?

You did not prepare for them prior to the purchase, and from what we found not well the night you brought them to the shop

That I acknowledge. They were an impulsive purchase. I should not have expected you to bring the flexariums the next day.

I don't remember this. I remember you using a thousand different excuses every day, and then coming to the store to play farmville on facebook.

Can you prove that these are the same customers I sold my chameleons to?
If these are the same customers, I left the store and they were contacting me through the store, not my personal communication, so that would be why they had difficulty contacting me.
In any case, I gave them good husbandry advice, and I pointed them towards the additional resources, and I followed up with a call to ask how things were going two weeks after the sale.

Only Eric could have a conversation and take criticism. Tamara, Nodja, and you can't tolerate any suggestion that you are wrong.

You haven't publicly denied that you cut dangerous corners in setting up and maintaining your facility. That should matter to anyone supporting the business, and it should matter to the community that you were in and the other people and businesses in the building.

Oh all of us can and do openly accept fault when it is ours.......As you are proving by everything you write here, not all is as it was understood to be at the begining of this thread. I only trust others will see this and understand now that it is not your fault entirely that you accuse prior to thinking, this is part of your disorder.

ps: you mention Eric, in a positive note, you have no idea how upset he was when that poor young man started crying as he relayed the story of the chameleons to us, you admit you communicated from the shop for this transaction, and followed up 2 weeks later, did it never Dawn on you that a transaction that had nothing to do with RK be followed up with your personal contact info, so that your own PERSONAL clients could contact you directly , And when you did leave the shop for good, did it not dawn on you that perhaps you should call them and offer at least your personal email to contact you regarding them?

I had given them my username on edmontonreptiles.com. I would think that would be enough. It is not my fault if they can't look up resources that I had given them, or that they couldn't contact me over the forums.

So in closing:

Dawn does not deny intentionally cutting dangerous corners and knowingly committing Fire code violations.

Dawn has not denied or acknowledged customer service catastrophes on the part of Dawn and the other volunteers.

Dawn has barely commented on her poor husbandry of snakes, geckos, and chameleons.

Dawn has only tried to discredit me by attacking my trait of Asperger's Syndrome that is exhibited to such a degree that no one (including myself) knew until I was 23.

As well, she continues to attack my impulsive purchase that I hid from my wife, and plays down the fact that I had been counting on her to provide flexariums that she had promised.

In closing, I don't think anyone should trust this person in business, with animals, or with safety.

I have not attacked anyone, at all for anything here Adam, simply illustrated that there is more to every story than one side. You are the one who menitoned your disorder, not me, i jsut simply clarified what that ment. I have not shunned my responciblilty in any of this at all and offer a VERY Credible witness to the inner workings of RK. Yes i discuss your purchase of the chams, in detail, this is simply to illustrate, that you are the pot calling the kettle black, as far as " good" judgement, and impecable husbandry skills. I also mention the sale of the chams ( by you not me) and the lack of support you gave your own clients, as you have admited all communications was via reptile kingdom ( from you) and only for 2 weeks, again pot calling the kettle black, as it would seem your customer service skills are amiss themselves..............

You called me violent, but I have not been violent. You were making me out to be a dangerous person. Furthermore, you were verbally and emotionally abusive after I defended you on the thread linked in the original post. You have not denied this until now. You are inconsistent.

I gave them additional online resources, I did give them my username on the edmontonreptiles.com forum, I followed up with a call after 2 weeks, which I don't recall you ever doing, and they came and bought the male from me several weeks after that. They were very pleased with me. Personally, I don't think that we are talking about the same customer.
I remember now! They did have my home phone number. They had contacted me at home to purchase the male, they didn't contact me via the shop.
If you want me to prove it, I can get out our phone bills, I think I should be able to pick out a Beaumont phone number, scan the sheet and show you.
